Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 763 A Thunder on the Ground (for Subscription)

As for pulling Lao Chen's wool, it was urging him not to be proud.

Lao Chen just doesn't want him to climb to the highest peak all at once, otherwise he won't be down-to-earth in the future. If he puts on airs, he can still make good movies in the future?

Of course, part of it is that the relationship between Lao Chen and him is still not as good as Lao Mouzi.

Besides, this film is locked by the system, even if Lao Chen wanted to make it, he would have no chance!

It's really not that I want to cheat him!

Lao Mouzi was very pleased with Zhao Hong's words. In fact, he was also a little stressed. He and Zhao Hong won the most awards in this year's competition.

This is also where he is most successful, and he is still a little confident.

"Fourth, you don't give others a chance to survive! Both box office and awards are captured, and both hands are strong. This is really quite remarkable."

The old Mouzi said with a little sigh.

"You can also try commercial films. Really, the mainland will still rely on commercial films in the future."

Zhao Hong smiled slightly after hearing Lao Mouzi's words, and then said.

"It's difficult. In fact, commercial films are not so easy to shoot. Now I feel a little bit stuck in literary films."

The old Mouzi said a little distressed.

As a director, who doesn't want his film to be a big hit, but the nature of literary films determines that the box office is not too high. His current best box office is "Red Sorghum".

This film is quite good no matter it is in the mainland or overseas, and the others are not so good.

Especially in the Mainland, where TV dramas are beginning to become popular, especially color TV sets are increasing, and the film industry will inevitably be affected.

Many movie theaters are currently losing money, and some movie policies are not very good. Under such circumstances, the mainland movie industry is beginning to shrink.

The box office of movies is getting lower and lower. Under such circumstances, bad movies are released one after another, which directly leads to the collapse of the movie market.

The next ten years will be a shrinking decade, a decade in which many filmmakers are seeking innovation and change, and a decade in which film studios are being forced to market.

It was at this time that the sixth-generation directors graduated and found a problem, that is, no one invested in them to make movies. This is a very difficult thing. Every sixth-generation director has a sad investment journey.

In this case, it is inevitable to go to a dead end and shoot some fringe subjects to gain attention.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lao Mouzi and the others. Now that they have achieved great success, they will never lack funds to invest in them.

There is also Lao Mouzi whose popularity in the mainland is now skyrocketing, and the release of the film will attract huge attention, and the box office will not be far behind.

If they were not well-known, their literary and artistic films would still be a splash.

When Lao Mouzi talked about the situation in the mainland, he felt uncomfortable for a while. The current film environment in the mainland is really not very good. If many film studios had not cooperated with the film crew from Xiangjiang, they would have been unable to get rid of it.

Even so, the production of movies is gradually decreasing, and the shrinking market is inevitable.

In fact, the main reason is the policy. It is said that the focus is to encourage the shooting of the main theme. As for other types of films, they will not be approved, or they will be directly rejected when they are reported for shooting.

In this case, filmmakers lost the greatest creative freedom, and directly shot a lot of garbage-style movies with the main theme.

This is why many audiences do not want to go to the cinema, and cut themselves off from the audience, and the film industry naturally slumps.

Zhao Hong can't say much about this kind of thing, as for suggestions, let's forget it!

He generally stays indifferent to policy matters, and his bottom line is not to talk about politics.

"Why don't you come to Xiangjiang to shoot a commercial film?" Zhao Hong said after hearing Lao Mouzi's complaints.

After hearing this, Lao Mouzi was moved for a while, but finally he shook his head and said.

"Let's take it easy! Next year I will direct the film "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju". I will make some new attempts in this film, adopting a documentary style and using a large number of semi-documentary techniques of non-professional actors to truly reflect the contemporary rural China. face."

In fact, there is still one thing he didn't say, that is, Zhang Manyu won the best actress tonight, and his muse's eyes revealed a fiery look, how could he not help in this situation!

Besides, he also wanted to bring out an actor, otherwise, how could he highlight his ability as a great director.

Just like Zhao Hong, "Farewell My Concubine" won Rong Shao the Best Actor in Cannes, while "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" won the best actress.

At this point, he is envious.

Zhao Hong didn't say any more after hearing it. "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film and the Best Actress Award at the 49th Venice International Film Festival.

It can be regarded as one of the most important awards for Lao Mouzi. The most important thing is that he won a muse, Gong Li, which made her famous internationally.

Although Lao Mouzi's several movies also made Gong Li's reputation in Europe soar, but there is no real award.

Fame is very vain, and only awards last forever.

Whether it's ten years or 20 years, someone will know that you have won such an award.

The coffee table is there.

Zhao Hong found a very interesting thing, that is, in the original time and space, Zhang Manyu and Gong Li basically took off at the same time.

It can be said that they are supported by a gathering of mainland and Hong Kong filmmakers.

Of course, Lao Mouzi alone holds up half the sky.

This is truly remarkable.

After a chat, they each went back to sleep, and Gong Li and Lao Mouzi left together at night.

Li Meimei, who had been starving and thirsty for several days, was finally released.

It was another dark night.

I don't know where is the starlight, where is the moonlight?

While Zhao Hong and the others were sleeping, Xiangjiang had already started to overturn the pot.

"Mr. Zhao, Director Zhao, he won an award in Berlin!!" An operator rushed into the CEO's office and reported the good news to his elder sister.

"Win an award? What award?"

"Golden Bear for Best Picture and Silver Bear for Best Actress."

Zhao Yingying was very happy when she heard this, but there was no expression on her face.

Just said softly: "I know, let's go down!"

"Jaw, that's fine!"

This guy thought that the news would make the president very happy, but he didn't expect his face to be expressionless.

As expected of the president, "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but his face remained unchanged".

But he didn't know that after he left, she couldn't suppress her laughter and kept giggling.

"This kid is really promising! He's almost taken all the top three in Europe!"

After that, she was no longer in the mood to deal with the documents, and called her family members one by one to share the news.

For a while, the old Zhao's house was full of excitement, and Qiqi, Yazhi, Qingxia and the others also got the news not long after.

They all felt trembling when they heard the news, and wanted someone to ravage them now!

"Impossible! Why is he so unreasonable, he won the prize if he said he won the prize. Could it be that this prize was given by their family?"

When the two brothers of the Ma family heard the news, they were in disbelief.

This time, in order to obtain first-hand information, they directly sent a luxurious team to Berlin, with the purpose of taking pictures of someone's mistake, so that they could publicize it fiercely.

Did not expect this to be the case.

It really felt like killing a dog.

"Yeah, how could this be? It's unscientific! You can't do this even if you're cheating."

"Hey, it's another failure. You said you want to let him miss once. Why is it so difficult? Could it be that our expectations are too high and we can't achieve them?"

The two brothers looked at each other in silence.

To be honest, they are really helpless in the face of an opponent like DreamWorks. They can only wait for others to wield the butcher knife, and they can only watch.

Can't do anything.

Even trying to get sick is difficult.

In fact, they also know that even if they failed in this trip to Berlin, what's the big deal?
They are still aloof, and they have not hit them at all.

"Brother, you said we sold the newspaper, how about it?"

"What are you talking about? This is our lifeblood. Our family can still be at ease today. It depends on the newspaper in our hands. If we don't have this, what right do we have to speak? We must know that other businesses are shady. "

"Besides, we took their benefits some time ago. If we don't follow their instructions, we will be overthrown immediately."

"Hey, it's a dilemma now!"

"Yeah, to be honest, if Dreamworks takes care of us, they won't help us."

"Hey, let's think about how to win the game. To be a chess piece is to be a chess piece."

……

Beep!
"Chairman, you got the prize, you got the prize!"

"Speak clearly, what won the prize?"

"Zhao Hong won an award in Berlin!!"

"What award did you get?"

"Golden Bear and Best Actress."

"Huh! What about "Ruan Lingyu" which we invested in?"

"I also won the award, Double Yellow Egg, Miss Zhang won the Best Actress!"

"That's good, that's good!"

After Zou Daheng put down the phone, he got up and walked slowly in the office to relieve his excitement.

He is really happy now. To be honest, he has become numb to Zhao Hong winning the award, and he can deal with it calmly if he wins the award or not.

But it's different for our own artists to win awards.

The film "Ruan Lingyu" was their attempt in the field of art films. Since their own artists also participated in the film, they also invested one-third of the investment. They didn't pay much attention to this, even if they went to Berlin, they were indifferent.

I didn't expect this inadvertent move to gain so much.

It can be said that Zhang Manyu is the best actress in their company. The male has a big nose and the female has her. This is their Golden Harvest twin star.

At this point, even DreamWorks cannot conceal its brilliance, which is why Golden Harvest has developed relatively rapidly in recent years.

"Ramon, what makes you so happy?"

He Guanchang had just entered the office when he saw his old buddy walking up and down with excitement on his face.

Zou Daheng saw He Guanchang coming in, so he told him the news just now.

"It seems that literary films are very popular! I heard that DreamWorks' literary films basically do not lose money, and they can recover their costs in casual screenings in Europe and America. In addition, it is difficult to make money in the surrounding areas."

He Guanchang said with a little emotion.

"Ruan Lingyu" won the award, at least they can earn a few million dollars in this investment, which is not a lot, but the investment is too small if they can't stand it!

And you can still hug people.

This point is also very important. It's not that Jiahe doesn't want to support a few more people as pillars now, but there is nothing they can do.

There are too few literary and artistic films invested by myself, and it is really not easy to win awards.

"It's something that can't be helped. The Sunglasses King hit the street. The local box office is a mess, but the box office in Europe is still very good. How can you make sense of it?"

"Yeah, he's a favorite now. I heard that the cost of shooting a literary film of his is 5000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars. No ordinary person can afford it. Anyway, we dare not let him spend so much."

"I heard that even DreamWorks itself is very taboo towards him. His films are basically filmed with foreign capital. Some time ago, Deng Guangrong wanted to return to the film industry, so he made a mistake and invested in his films. Said that DreamWorks came to a bottom line and refused to release, and directly lost 2000 million, that kid was directly hospitalized in anger."

"That's right, Deng Guangrong really has no clue. No one knows about his relationship with DreamWorks. I heard that after the film was bought by DreamWorks at a low price, he made a fortune."

"Hey, that kid from the Zhao family is getting better and better now. In just ten years, he has reached such a height. It's really a dream."

"This is a monster..."

By the way, Shao Daheng also let out a long sigh after hearing the news that Zhao Hong won the award.

After learning that "Ruan Lingyu" won the award, I felt quite uneasy.

He can deal with Zhao Hong's award calmly, but he is not happy when his old opponent wins the award.

After decades of not fighting, it seems uncomfortable.

Then he picked up the phone and called his confidante, so that his family would shoot a few art films and go to the three major awards in Europe.

At present, Shao Daheng is relatively low-key. The main thing is to control the company in a general direction, and then there is charity. After starting to do charity in the mainland several years ago.

The amount of energy and money he spends on this every year is not a small amount.

As for movies, he is already playing for tickets.

In addition to them, many people in Xiangjiang knew the news, and most of the media knew about it.

They were immediately excited. This trip to Berlin has yielded a lot from Xiangjiang Films. The only pity is that "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is not a Chinese film.

But what does it matter?

Anyway, the director is his own.

After Mr. Jin heard the news, he also sighed for a long time: "The future generations are awesome, the future generations are awesome!"

Regarding Zhao Hong's current achievements, he didn't know what to say.

In just ten years, I have walked a road that others can't finish in a lifetime.

When Zhao Hong made his mark in the field of martial arts before, he thought that he was about to produce a martial arts master, but he didn't agree, and started from other aspects one after another.

Dazzling and incomprehensible.

It all looks dazzled now.

But the effect is also astonishing, blooming everywhere, not a little stronger than the development of a single field.

Of course, this approach is only suitable for him, and others don't even think about it!
Zhao Hong's award this time is like dropping a bomb on the calm water in Xiangjiang, and it immediately boils.

Many newspapers are quickly typesetting the newspapers for the next day. It is not difficult to imagine how much trouble there will be in Xiangjiang the next day.

Although Zhao Hong didn't know anything about these things, she could still imagine them.

At present, Xiangjiang is also very eager for this kind of foreign awards. In fact, it has some similarities with the mainland.

Although they have developed very well, under the rule of England, it is inevitable that they have a bit of inferiority complex. In this case, they just want to gain the recognition of others.
